Product Overview
The GTO RB741-2 is a two-pack of RB741 style remote transmitters for gate operators using the older 318 MHz DIP switch style radio system. This type of remote is different from newer rolling-code or learn-button remotes because the code is normally set by aligning small internal DIP switches to match the receiver or an existing working transmitter. For customers maintaining older GTO, Linear PRO, and Mighty Mule installations, this remote family is often used to add vehicle transmitters without replacing the operator control board.
Use this transmitter when the gate already works from a matching DIP switch remote or compatible 318 MHz receiver. If the gate has been converted to a different external receiver, the remote must match that receiver instead of the opener brand name alone.
Compatible With
- Select GTO / Linear PRO gate operators using compatible 318 MHz DIP switch receiver systems
- Select Mighty Mule gate operators using compatible DIP switch receiver systems
- Older GTO PRO swing gate operator installations with compatible 318 MHz receivers
- Older GTO PRO slide gate operator installations with compatible 318 MHz receivers
- Commonly associated with FM134 / FM135 / RB741 / RB742 remote-control families depending on button count and receiver setup
- May be used with compatible external GTO / Linear receivers when the frequency and DIP switch code format match

Technician Note
The product title in this row says two-button transmitter, but RB741 is commonly referenced as a single-button style remote family. Do not confuse RB741 with RB742/FM134 two-button remotes. The safer fitment check is the part number printed on the old remote or the receiver requirement.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the old remote part number is RB741 or the receiver calls for an RB741 style transmitter
- Confirm the system uses 318 MHz DIP switch technology
- Open the existing remote and compare DIP switch layout when possible
- Do not order by gate opener brand only if an external receiver has been added
- Confirm whether you need single-button control or two-button control
Professional Advisory
Programming should be limited to matching the remote code to the receiver or existing remote. Do not bypass receiver security, gate safety devices, or monitored entrapment protection to make a transmitter work.
Important Ordering Warnings
- RB741 and RB742 are related search terms but not always interchangeable
- 318 MHz DIP switch remotes will not replace every Linear, GTO, Mighty Mule, or Nice remote
- Button count matters if the remote is used for dual gates, second channels, or accessories
- Receiver upgrades can change which remote is required
Product Questions & Answers
Is RB741-2 one remote or two remotes?
RB741-2 normally refers to a 2-pack of RB741 style transmitters. Check the packaging and SKU if quantity is important for a job.
Will this remote work with every GTO or Mighty Mule opener?
It is for compatible 318 MHz DIP switch receiver systems. It will not work with every opener if the receiver uses a different frequency, code type, or newer technology.
How is this remote programmed?
The usual setup is to match the internal DIP switch settings to the receiver or to an existing working remote. Follow the receiver instructions for the exact code setup.
No. They are related remote families, but RB741 and RB742 are commonly used for different button configurations. Match the part number and button count before ordering.
What should I check if the new remote will not operate the gate?
Check battery orientation, DIP switch code, receiver frequency, antenna condition, and whether the operator is actually using the original receiver or a replacement external receiver.
